Motherjane Rocks Mumbai
Mumbai’s history is as rich and fascinating as the city itself. The long periods of dynasties, to Islamic and Portuguese rule, and then British control, all the way up to India’s independence, and the events of the recent decades, speak of a city that has witnessed the history of the world. It has also been one of its most active participants, and a visit here will remind guests about India’s contributions to world culture. Mumbai is also a world unto itself, with one of the largest urban populations in the world, making up concentric circles of very lively cultures, all contributing to the creative energy of the place. It is a place where one feels like they are an active participant in the living history of the world, and it’s a splendid and almost exhilarating feeling.
There are plenty of things for a traveler to do in order to enjoy their time to the fullest in Mumbai, and perhaps the first consideration is the lodging. Being able to relax and find a sense of rejuvenation is very important, as the energy of the city not only gives to its residents, it also can demand a lot from you. After a good night’s rest and a lovely meal, you’ll be ready to enjoy more of the great contemporary city of Mumbai. Hotels can certainly give you the chance to rest before the adventures ahead. If you’re up for the Hard Rock Cafe, or looking to see what’s going on with live music in general, there are plenty of excellent offerings here, any night of the week.
One of the local favorites is certainly Motherjane. This is progressive rock with an Indian twist, where at times the local rhythms override the classic rock rhythms, in a nice back and forth that makes this an immensely interesting group. They’re based in Cochin, and play all over Asia, to great acclaim from audiences as well as critics. The sensibility here is of the head-banging variety, but they have a complexity that only groups like Tool or the like seem capable of exploring, making it a full experience. There are also lyrics that speak of looking within, and other ideas not normally heard in metal or hard rock, and this is another aspect of the music that gives it an edge, and makes Motherjane well worth the long waits in line.
